Generations of the Seiden family promote scientific exchange and academic excellence at Technion
Norman Seiden, Deputy Chair of the Technion Board of Governors and a leader of the American Technion Society (ATS) New York Metropolitan Region, was honored at the Technion in December 2015 for three generations of support to the university, much of which has focused on - and pioneered - optoelectronics and nanotechnology.
Norman Seiden was joined by his sons, Mark and Stephen, and their wives, Diane and Sharon, at dedications of the Mark and Diane Seiden International Workshop in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (to be held in 2016) and the Pearl Seiden International Meeting in Life Sciences, named for Norman's daughter Pearl.
Ceremonies were held for the Norman and Barbara Seiden Family Prizes for multidisciplinary undergraduate projects in optoelectronics, microelectronics, and nanosciences, and the new Norman Seiden Prize for Academic Excellence, established by Norman Seiden's children in honor of their father's 90th birthday. - See more at: http://www.focus.technion.ac.il/Feb16/academic_story1.asp
